World Ocean Assessment

The World Ocean Assessment is a comprehensive, global study that examines the health and status of the world’s oceans. It gathers scientific data on ocean ecosystems, marine life, pollution, climate change impacts, and human activities like fishing and shipping. The goal is to provide policymakers, scientists, and the public with a clear understanding of the ocean’s condition, identify threats, and inform sustainable management practices. By regularly updating this assessment, it helps track progress toward conserving marine environments and achieving international goals for the ocean’s health and sustainability.
